How the tax on £100,000 is worked out
- Tax-free Personal Allowance: £12,570.
- Taxable income: £100,000 − £12,570 = £87,430.
- Basic rate: £37,700 × 20% = £7,540
- Higher rate: £49,730 × 40% = £19,892
- National Insurance: 8% × £37,700 + 2% × £49,730 = £4,010.60.
- Take-home: £100,000 − £27,432 − £4,010.60 = £68,557.40.
Your marginal rate — what you lose from the next £100 — is 62%, because the Personal Allowance taper adds 20% on top of the 40% band.
